2021-02-09 15:50:31 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

While it is true that SARS-CoV-2 virions (particles) are < 0.1 micron, they are contained and transmitted through respiratory droplets/aerosols, which are mostly >0.5 microns and can be blocked by a N95 mask. This tweet suggests masks don't work, when in fact they do.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1357390837328527366

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
